International Studies Major vs. History Major vs. Journalism Major?

Question

I love everything Social Science related, especially European. Anything I go in to I want to have the opportunity to live in Europe. I plan on going on with a Masters (i'm a senior in HS, planning on going to a good state school with a pretty good Humanities Department as of right now for my bachelors or maybe just 2 years)

But I am not sure how my major will affect my career choices, I know I would enjoy all 3 of those majors. I'm willing to Double Major, but I want to graduate for sure in 4 years. I plan on doing some summer too. Also is it way to hard to Double Major and have a minor?

thanks so much

Answer 1

I was a journalist for around ten years, and I would advise you to get your degree in History and minor in Political Science or International Relations.
Take a lot of English classes, especially writing classes, because there is only one way to learn how to write -- writing.
It's a skill, and the more you write, the better you become.

As to the four years thing, don't sweat that so much. There are so many requirements now that a lot of people graduating now are taking five years.
And as to the Masters, go with History... Political Science is deadly at the grad level. With history, you can write your thesis on almost anything as long as you use historical methodology.

Answer 2

Do a double primary in International Studies and Journalism. You can critically get a long way in that. I did not get a double primary, however I close to did. I majored in Psych. with a minor in Soc. All my electives had been in Soc. on account that I cherished it, however I used to be going to college complete time and dealing complete time. It practically killed me. I simply ultimately needed to take my measure and pass earlier than I used to be intellectual lol. But, a double primary can be visible in a constructive gentle. If your minor is in whatever simply take your whole electives in it and a couple of extra guides...viola!
